Never ignore the signs your body gives you.

I had an appointment at the Spanish Embassy on Wednesday evening.
That morning, I didn’t feel quite right,something felt off.
So, I decided to rest and make sure I got enough sleep to be prepared for my evening appointment.

I left home around 4 PM, but even then, something still didn’t sit well with me.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
So, I called a friend of mine who’s a nurse and she told me to stop by the hospital and get myself checked first.
I’m really glad I listened,because I’ve just been discharged from the hospital.
Still not out of thr woods yet but better.
Please, listen to your body. Rest when you need to.
Your health is not something to take lightly. You only get one body take care of it.

Hi @top fans,

Autism, Human Attachment & Personality Types

When we think of attachment in one's self stages of development we may not take into consideration how they can manifest, grow development in time.

The three mean types of attachment are anxious, avoidant and disorganised (which is a mixture of the latter) - take into consideration the biological factors in potential conditions such as some forms of bipolar and schizophrenia.

Genetic links with bipolar disorder identified

What genes are differentially expressed in individuals with schizophrenia? A systematic review

www.nature.com/articles/s41380-021-01420-7

The next aspect is "core beliefs" these could also be considered "world view beliefs" that are parental generational overhangs that influence children not only on what is right and wrong but ideas of other people and expanding into coping strategies and acquired mental health conditions the influence attachment, friendships and/or relationships.

For example if one's nervous system is flooded with an array of different pieces of information would different attachment styles, personality types (including their own sensitivities) further exaggerate and/or dampen this?

I can use myself as an example here prematurity, c-section and acquired hypoxic injury may well have contributed to higher stress levels in utero, I was noted to be a sleepy baby at 6 months, development challenges noted at 18 months with hearing being a concern (which was actually to do with language processing).

Cesarean birth is associated with lower motor and language development scores during early childhood: a longitudinal analysis of two cohorts

www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-73914-7

I was solitary and I consider exposure anxiety a negative nervous system response and form of dissociation a factor, along with the OCD and constant need for dopamine hit and binge eating was my emotional regulator.

My lack of "need" for social feedback didn't' simply come from information processing challenges but an "autistic" personality type (solitary/schizoid) in which meant as developed I was asocial by preference. However, could other factors be at play? Donna Williams rightfully proposes it's far more three dimensional than that.

Autism and Attachment

As an autism consultant since 1996, I have worked with attachment disordered kids with autism and those who are not. We are often daunted by the idea of attachment disorders in those with autism. It’s a taboo topic and conjures up images of archaic psychotherapy and Refrigerator Mother theory. But attachment disorders can also occur in people who have never experienced abuse, neglect or inconsistency of carers. It can be a product of the level of sensory perceptual chaos someone lives with, be about growing up treated more as a case/condition than a person, about being in an intensive program your particular personality perceives as repeatedly invasive, abusive, traumatizing even if an achievement driven (such as those with OCPD), pleaser types (those with AvPD).

Donna Williams 2012

blog.donnawilliams.net/2012/02/25/autism-and-attachment-2/

Many of my information processing challenges meant that could render me into a void, fragmented faces, bodies, objects, distorted sounds or language, inconsistent bodily messages and feedback, the inability to do "self and other" made it difficult to connect with and vice versa. However I am grateful to have had persistent and loving parents and in reflection not to be bitter about my past.

So wanting to connect and needing to connect are two different frames of thoughts and drivers. This is why I steer clear of stereotypes such as "being autistic is everything about me" - it so clearly isn't the case, human development is far more complex than that and it's about looking beyond the grass and getting to the roots getting to the whys.
